SCIENTIFIC CHAT.

According to the Journal Of Health. the human
brain reaches its greatest weight and development
between the ages of IA and 20.
Francis Cation, who has been studying the
laws of heredity in regard to temper, finds that
there is greater proportion of good tempered pso-
pie among women than among men.
Dry salt applied every day and brushed into
the roots will make the hair silky and cause IL to
grow. Do not continue but q year or two at .ong-
est as IL Is a strong tonic.
Some singular statements have been made In
the Dettsche MondtSchr concerning the effect pro-
dueed by different trades and industrial Oecupa-
tions upon the general health. Among these facts
those contributed by Prof Hesse. of Leipsic,
who points out the deplorable condition of the
teeth of bakers, and who also asserts that he is
frequently able to indicate the occupation of per-
sons by the condition of their teeth. In the Of
bakers the carries Is soft and rapidly progressive
the principal parts attacked are the labial and
buccal surfaces of the teeth, commencing at the
cervix and rapidly extending to the grinding sur
face-the approximal surfaces not seeming to be
attacked more than In other trades. Prof Hesse
believes that the disease Is owing To the inhal
of -four dust, the carries being caused by the
action Of an acid which is formed in the presence
Of fermentable carbohydrates.

How Margaret Drew the Line.
lSi. Louis Post Dispaleh.l

Our pantry is next to our kitchen, where
Margaret received the visits Of her Mickey.
One evening / went down to the pantry for
something. aud while there was an involuntary
eavesdropper on poor Margaret. She had con-
fided to Ma only few days before that shortly
after Lent we would have to look out for new
girl, and We consequently received Mickey
with moro good will than before he had de-
clared his intentions, although we were sorry
to think we would lose Margaret. On the
evening in question Mickey was in the kitchen,
where Margaret was finishing up her work.
After the rumble of a gridiron falling to the
floor had subsidized, 1 heard the following dia-
log:
NO, Mickey. No, ycu cannot"
"Ah, Maggie, dear, gi' me one kiss from those
sweet lips"

duct for engaged couples without writing to

There was family on the train between
Birmingham and Admission who had come out
of the woods of Mississippi and were on their
way to some place in Georgia. 1t was their
first ride on the cars, but while the wife and
children were full of natural curiosity, the
husband didn't propose to give his ignorance
away. When the wife asked him what kept
the coaches on the track he looked at her with
pity in his eyes, and answered:
Maria, don't you know nothin' tall? They
put tar on 'em to make em stekp'
She was satisfied until we switched in on q
side track to let passenger train go by, and
then she asked:
Gordon, what did they do this forT
"'Nother train going by, Maria"
"And do we have to git off the track?"
yes. It's the new way. They used to have
one train scramble over the other, but it scarf
the passengers so that they have adopted
another plan."
She looked up at the ceiling and then out on
the extra track, and replied:
"You ought to buy some peanuts Of the
boy, Gordon, and show the railroad that We
appreciate this extra expense they have gone
to. They must have feelings as well as u.s."

Last Battle Of the War.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Now for the
last battle Of the war" / am not prepared to
locate it. Comrade Riddle, Sd Ind battery,
claims April 8, 1865, as the time, and Fort
Blakely as the place, and says: " I have never
yet seen man who claims witnessing battle
later than this one Of April 9, 1866, at o'clock
p. m"
In the history of the 77th Ill, pages 34f, 5,
Is given the official correspondence which re-
suited in the surrender of the city Of Mobile to
the land and naval forces of the United States.
This is dated April II, 1865. The history then
goes on to say:
On the day after the surrender THAT is April 13,
four days after Blakelyl the Third Division was
ordered to march to Whistler Station on the Mo-
bile & Ohio Railroad about six miles from the city.
About o'clock ia the afternoon
they marched To Whistler Station. Upon the ar
rival Of our advance, they found some rebels here
driven beyond Eight mile Creek where they joined
force Of about 500 cavalry. As the brigades came
up they unslung knapsacks and started on the dOu-
be-quick for the front. Quite brisk fight ensued.
Our troops tried to flank them, but the cavalry was
too quick and made their escape. Three of our
boys, belonging To- the Dist H., were wounded and
four of the rebels killed. This the last engage
ment in which the 18th participated.
Perhaps this was not the last battle" II
not, let us hear from the next.-W. III. BENTLEY,

FRANKLIN.
A 50th Ohio Comrade Corrects Col. Hays Respect
Ing the Tooth Ohio.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: While Col.
Hays, Comrade Pinney, and others are fighting
over the battle of franklin in The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, will you allow me to correct COL
Hays in one or two statements in regard TO the
position of the Tooth Oho2 Comrade Pinney
makes Col. Hays say that his regiment occupied
the extreme right of Riley's Brigade, was
formed across the Columbia pike, and Joined
Stanleyis Division, Of the Fourth Corps. Now
the correction / wish TO make is this: The
Tooth did not cross the pike, but came up to the
pike on the east side. Our line OF intrench-
ments did not cross the pike, but close up on
each side. The gap was left to permit the
artillery in front to pass in, and in the rear Of
the gap, just far enough to allow them TO pass
around, was barricade of rails. To my cer-
tain knowledge there were no troops behind
those rails.-at least when looked that way,
and that was when some rebel flags came
through that gap not 10 feet apart.
Again, Col. Hays is mistaken when he says his
regiment joined the Fourth Corps. 1t joined the
Third Brigade. Second Division, Twenty third
Corps, OF which our regiment (the 50th OhiO)
was the extreme left, the left of the regiment
resting on the pike. Col. s. A. Strickland, Of
our regiment, commanded the brigade. know
the Tooth was not behind that barricade. for if
they had been they would never have permit
ted the rebels to rush through as they did and
form in our rear almost TO our colOrs, before We
had time TO get out of the ditch. To be between
two solid lines of rebels, in clear daylight, and
they not 10 feet apart, and not get captured,
was glory enough for our regiment for one day.

"An Apache, in full war-paint, stalked into

day. The children were Immediately terrified.
and trembiingly told us he was a bad Indian. ,
They said an uncle of one Of our boys had
